For a very long time Mayoreak lived at an outpost camp and being great distances away from people demands self-sufficiency.  This required an income to provide for necessities. So Mayoreak took up carving as well as drawing because it made economic sense to do so and also kept herself occupied.  Mayoreak’s carvings are very dynamic and strong and having uniquely feminine perspectives in their rendering as do her drawings.  You can see the influences from her background in the art she produces.  Ashoona draws in a variety of styles (including abstract) and the figures that she produces are engaged in a variety of activities. Ashoona has in the context of her paintings and drawings an ability to explore, to work and capture the essence and master techniques of abstract or figurative representation through symmetry and balance.
